Cheapest reliable business phone + broadband package?

Candy_Red · 23 March 2011 at 8:08AM

Firstly, do you HAVE to have a specific business package, if the premises is a business? Only going to be used for surfing and not essential to the business.
Secondly, Does anyone have any recommendations. Cheapest quote I have is around £25 monthly (plus the dreaded VAT) and I know I can get slightly cheaper with a domestic service but not sure if I' allowed?
Any help/advice appreciated

You might or might not breach the provider's terms by using a service provided for domestic use for business purposes.

That isn't really the issue, though. One of the things a business contract typically pays for is some form of SLA.

As far as I know, residential lines have no SLA. Would your business be OK if the line and broadband broke for 3 months?

Thanks for the reply.
Theoretically yes, we have operated for the last year with no phone line at all at our previous workshop.
I'm probably going to go for the business set up though, so any recommendations on which is cheapest?
Does need to be fast or have high download limit. Just browsing throught the day.

Funnily enough, that's the one I've been looking at. But works out as £10.00 + £13.45 (line rental) + VAT= £28.14

(nothings ever as cheap as it originally appears

)
